I like translating and making vintage crochet patterns, classic literature, and little crazy dogs.

I finally finished it! This is a Victorian Fascinator with Mingardese Edging (1895). I had to reverse engineer the edging, They stopped making Mingardese braid. The pattern is available on my Ravelry and Etsy! #crochet

This is just a simple reusable shopping bag I made using Bernat Baby Blanket super bulky yarn that I had lying around. The pattern is up for free on my Ravelry. You'll need a 7mm hook, but it's super easy. I literally made this whole thing in 90 minutes.

There's now a picture of the whole apron in the thread, and here's an up close of the rubber ducky pockets because they turned out so cute.

The rubber ducky apron in question! ;)

My rubber ducky apron is finally done! It's a Christmas present for my cousin, so nobody tell her... The ducks are actually pockets, too. If you want the pattern, it's on my Etsy:

So in trying to make a water bottle holder, I accidentally made a flower vase cozy. Daisy is helpfully making it look better by standing near it and letting her cuteness rub off. #crochet #oops

The pattern is free here:

My latest creation because my family likes to surprise me with requests for emergency baby blankets. This is the Garden Baby Blanket! I think the center flower is a peony, but I'm bad with flower names. Anyway, you can get the pattern here: crochetingclassics.etsy.com

So this is what happens when it's 2am, I can't sleep, and I realize I have a bit of leftover stuffing.

Meet Mr. Trouble Bubbles!

I free-handed a rose hot pad from from a 1950's picture! It's pretty close to what I remember of the original. (Couldn't find the book when I went to make the pad. ) #crochet #Vintage #scrapyarnprojects
The pattern is in the video description here: youtu.be/MXBj1cWx4vI

My irony meter just died. My Dad wants to safely transport his ceramic roosters, so he spaced them out with glass light bulbs! ROFL

I'm still not sure about the border on this one, but if you want the pattern or to watch me make it while listening to a radio murder mystery, here: youtu.be/2ONNJFfDxak?...

I made a Victorian lace tank top for my niece! For some reason, the lace is called Acorn Lace (circa 1896) and looks nothing like an acorn (much like the Victorian lotus stitch looks nothing like a lotus). #crochet
Anyway here's the pattern link: crochetingclassics.etsy.com/listing/1863...

And here it is in another color scheme because my technologically defunct hiney found a filter button! #crochet

Finally got this one done! It's a Victorian Lotus Stitch Shawl. I had to make some adjustments when I translated the pattern. For the life of me, I'll never understand the Victorian obsession with unnecessary fastening on and off. Fixed pattern's on Etsy: crochetingclassics.etsy.com

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but my two little terrified-of-storms dogs know we're all safer when we work together, love together, and fight together. Don't obey or surrender in advance. #resistance. #loveoneanother

It's so satisfying when you're almost done with a skein and it gets all floppy! #yarn #crochet #satisfying

We live by a church, and people seem to think it's fine to dump their pets there, especially after Christmas. Which is why we have a feral cat colony running amok in our yard. Just a reminder, people. Pets are commitments, not presents. Anyway, here's a rare picture of Little Pretty. #cats

I'm trying to make a shawl. Fanny's demanding a nap. Guess who won.

I'm so beautiful, and I have been defluffed! Now make the little one stop barking at me! #funny #dogs #cute

This is Millington, my little mushroom gentleman. He has a bowtie because Dr. Who says bowties are cool. He's just here to look dapper and vibe, because we all need a little sunshine now. #goodthoughts #mushroom

Fanny is at the poodle parlor and Daisy is enjoying being an only child. And when Fanny gets home, she'll pretend not to recognize her for the next three days. #chihuahuas #strangelittledogs #doglife #funny

This is only a few minutes after I finished vacuuming... Clearly Daisy felt the need to redecorate.
February 2, 2025 at 10:07 PM
I have to wonder why Daisy thinks her lamb will protect her chewy stick....
